Preliminary study:
Two male and two female animals were treated with 2000 mg/kg bw , as a preliminary test. Since no mortality was observed after 24 hours, three more males and females were treated with the same dose. The results were pooled and reported for the whole group of 5 animals per sex: No mortalities occurred.

Additional information

Only a single study conducted according to guideline OECD 401 and under GLP is available. The study is considered to be relevant, reliable (Klimisch 1) and adequate for the purposes of risk assessment, classification and labelling. The LD50 in male and female rats was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw, since no mortality was observed (limit test).

Justification for classification or non-classification

The value for the acute oral toxicity, LD50>2000 mg/kg bw does not lead to the classification of the substance, according to the criteria for classification under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, Annex I, Part 3, 3.1.2.
